With the recent onslaught of hurricanes pounding our shores once again, many individuals are doing what they can by donating time, money and resources.
Austin has opened its shelters once again to give aide to thousands of evacuees across the state and gulf areas, but what else are we as Austinites doing? The hurricane has shut down airports, roads and companies across the lower united states and while Austin enjoyed a near miss, dodging the path of the hurricane, we aren’t going to be missed by the impact on our economy. Many local companies will be severely affected by the impact on coastal cities like Galveston and Houston.
It’s time to do our civic and moral duty as Austinites and give back.
My local Austin company, BuildASign.com, has been helping out in the best way we can by providing fast, completely custom signs to businesses preparing for the hurricanes or to businesses already impacted for Free. We don’t want people to think about costs right now, but instead thinking about safety and recovering their businesses from the disaster. We know that by helping all these businesses get back on their feet, we will benefit by a faster recovering economy. Not to mention that it’s the right thing to do.
Every company here in town should be able to think of its own way to help out during this time. What goes around comes around and one day your business will be grateful for other companies doing the same for you.
